Inappropriate granting of user rights can provide system, administrative, and other high level capabilities.

Accounts with the "Create permanent shared objects" user right could expose sensitive data by creating shared objects.

Check

Verify the effective setting in Local Group Policy Editor.
Run "gpedit.msc".

Navigate to Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignment.

If any groups or accounts are granted the "Create permanent shared objects" user right, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> User Rights Assignment >> "Create permanent shared objects" to be defined but containing no entries (blank).
